Belonging.?

Acceptance, a hollow
term of the crowd.

Belonging, a enduring
ache of the soul.

Confusing the two means a
lifelong angst of the heart.

Acceptance by the crowd
is a human emotion.

Belonging is a spiritual need
of the very fact of life.

Acceptance is a wandering, place to
place, looking for attention.

Belonging is a need that reaches
out, begging for a response.

Lack of belonging is a life adrift in
a sea of longing, devoid of love.
